AI video search: find any clip in seconds

Search by what was said

Fast Video Cataloger transcribes the speech in your videos with built-in speech-to-text and makes every spoken word searchable. Remember a phrase from an interview but not which file it’s in? Search the phrase and jump straight to the moment it was said — across your entire catalog, not just one clip.

• Automatic transcription as videos are indexed — or transcribe clips already in your catalog on demand
• Search transcripts across your whole library and jump to the exact timecode
• Works in many languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Russian — with automatic language detection
• A transcript panel that follows along as the video plays, with click-to-seek and in-window search

Great for interviews, talking-head footage, lectures, and any project where you need to find a clip by what someone said.

Find anyone across your footage

Built-in face recognition finds the people in your videos. Teach Fast Video Cataloger a face from a few photos, and it will automatically detect and tag that person everywhere they appear — across your entire library. No more opening file after file to find where someone shows up.

• Automatic face detection and recognition from your video thumbnails
• Learn a person’s face from a handful of photos, then find every clip they appear in
• Choose fast or high-accuracy detection depending on the job
• Ideal for documentary, event, interview, and family-archive projects

Automatic scene and object tagging

Let the AI describe your footage for you. Fast Video Cataloger can classify the type of scene in each shot — indoor, outdoor, kitchen, beach, and more — and detect the objects in frame, adding them all as searchable keywords automatically. Footage you never had time to log becomes findable.

• AI scene classification (e.g. indoor, outdoor, beach)
• Object detection (e.g. car, person, dog)
• Results added as keywords automatically — with a confidence control you set
• Run it during indexing, or as a batch over videos you already have

See every scene at a glance

As it indexes, Fast Video Cataloger extracts keyframe thumbnails for every video, giving you a visual contact sheet of each clip. Scan a whole video at a glance instead of playing it start to finish — then tag, keyword, and organize straight from the thumbnails.

• Automatic scene-thumbnail extraction — visual scrubbing without playback
• Hierarchical keywords, scene-level tags, and custom metadata fields
• Auto-keywording from file paths and folder structure

One search box for everything

Spoken words, people, scenes, objects, your own keywords, and metadata all live in one searchable catalog. Combine them — find every clip where a specific person appears and a specific word is said, filter by your own tags, and narrow to the shot you need in seconds.

Private by design — it all runs on your PC

Every part of this works locally. Transcription, face recognition, and scene and object detection all run on your own computer — your footage is never uploaded to a cloud service, and you don’t need an internet connection to search your library. Your media, and the work you put into organizing it, stay yours.
